"Eyes. Those damn eyes fucked me forever. We made love just looking at them.”

Charles Bukowsk

what if i made a mistake.

now

what.

i made a promise when i was happy

now, i wait
frozen forever waiting.

i feel like i am ash, and you
are smoke, and you will
rise and leave me and i
will be left.

smoldering lightly
thinking of you.

i smolder. i wait.
frozen in time
forever.

how could i ever articulate how i feel to you
when i can barely think of it.
